Korean BBQ

A few years ago hubby and I attended one of my vendor's bowling parties at this mom and pop old school bowling alley in Montrose. For these of you wondering where Montrose is it's about 10 minutes north on the 2 freeway. The party was a fun time so we went again and again, as the bowling party was an annual event for my vendor.

Was it fate? Anyhow, each year we ended up sitting next to the same couple when it came time to grub on food. And each year we would chat the evening away with the couple. Eventually, someone had the great idea of getting together outside of the bowling party and that is how we meet our friends Verona and Dave. For a few years now, we have been getting together with them and their family.

They like to call hubby and I their kids even though they have a daughter near our age and an adopted son who is in college. After hanging out with them so much we kind of feel like part of their family. We even met Verona's mom at a Fake Neil Diamond Concert the other night. The thing I can appreciate about Verona and Dave is their sense of fun and that is why I like them so much. I can only hope when I am older I can have ask much fun as they do together.

Their daughter, Bree, who is a couple years younger than us invited us to Sunday dinner yesterday. Apparently she was introducing her folks to Korean BBQ for the first time and wanted to know if we wanted to be part of the fun. Of course I had to be part of the experience only to see Dave try and use chopsticks! So we accepted her invitation and joined the family in Ktown a.k.a. Korean Town for Sunday dinner. We even meet a new family member, one of their cousins.

It was Brian's first time at Korean BBQ and my second time. My first experience was just okay and I really didn't think I would try it again but I guess all things need a second chance to shine. So thus, I accepted the invitation to spend time with my friends rather then eat BBQ. But all ended well because not only did I have a lot of great laughs with my friends but my second time at Korean BBQ was awesome and I am glad I gave the food a second chance. Here are some photos our night out:

Random Thoughts as the Weekend Closes

Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Time Is Flying

Man, back in September and October, I thought time was going by so slowly but now that we are in November and half way through it, it seems like time is flying once again. Maybe that has a little bit to do with me being a lady of leisure these days. My doctor put me on bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy. I went into his office all stressed out over the situation at work in early November and he said "this Friday, November 4th, will be your last day." I was like "Excuse me?" Doc put me on disability because stress is bad for the gestational diabetes I already have and for the apparent high blood pressure reading I had that day and some of my tests indicated I was at risk for pre-eclampsia. My new job, is to go to the hospital for neonatal stress tests, twice a week, on Monday's and Thursday's with a weekly OBGYN appointment on Thursday's after my hospital appointment. Throw in some eye doctor appointments with an eye specialist (apparen...
